No joking matter

Winnetka — A cartoon on the May 19 Commentary page Gallery that stated "Don't blame me, I voted for Gore" was completely unfair and unfunny. The cartoon implied that gas-pump prices are too high and that somehow President Bush is to blame. Gasoline prices are not set by the president and we had the same high prices last year under Bill Clinton. There is no reason to blame Bush for these prices. And to imply that prices would be lower under Al Gore is utterly false. In fact, Gore advocated $2-per-gallon gasoline inhis book.
